People who are nymphomaniacs generally don’t know how obvious they are in the eyes of others.
Chen Xing pretended not to see it.
After drying his hair, Chen Xing used the hotel's hair dryer to dry it. However, since his suitcase was left at the hotel he booked before, Chen Xing had nothing to use to style his hair.
Looking at the long hair in the mirror, Chen Xing felt helpless.
Use a rubber band to tie your hair into a bunch at the back of your head. Your hair is not long enough, but it won’t look good if you don’t tie it or use anything to style it.
Forget it, that’s it.
After putting the hair dryer away, Chen Xing asked Zhou Xueyan, "You are not a native of Xi'an, right?"
"Well, I'm from Shenyang, and I came here only after I was admitted to the university here."
"No wonder your Mandarin doesn't have a Shaanxi accent. Thank you for being my tour guide."
"Hahahaha, you're welcome, I'll also play for a day."
Zhou Xueyan sat up from the bed with a smile. He looked around and saw that there was nothing to take with him. He thought he should go out to play, right?
She had already thought about how envious the women outside would be when she and Chen Xing were together. In order to better experience this feeling, she even took off her favorite hat.
Seeing that there was nothing to prepare, Chen Xing went downstairs with Zhou Xueyan to check out the room. Someone paid for the room yesterday, and now he can get a hundred yuan for free when he checks out.
Zhou Xueyan took the money and said: "It seems that we have secured our lunch today."
"I'm treating you today." Chen Xing said.
I was treated to a meal yesterday, and I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to meet all the members of their band again, so today Chen Xing wanted to treat Zhou Xueyan to something good.
He originally thought that his fate with their band yesterday was that he saved Zhou Xueyen, and then the other party treated him to a meal as a thank you, and that was it.
But I didn't expect that the happiness they brought to Chen Xing was far more than just a meal.
Now that Chen Xing thinks back to the unique concert in the night market yesterday, he will feel that all the pressure in reality has completely dissipated, and he has returned to the carefree time in junior high school, when there was only happiness in his heart.<
/p>
Fate is wonderful.
In return, Chen Xing must at least make Zhou Xueyen, the band representative they left behind, happy... It's okay to sell his body. Although Zhou Xueyen is also very beautiful, Chen Xing only likes girls who can make his heart flutter.<
/p>
She took Chen Xing to the subway station.
With Zhou Xueyan’s leadership, Chen Xing can stop looking at the navigation on his phone and focus on the city’s buildings.
In fact, most of today's cities, if you don't look for the hidden ancient buildings and streets, should be the same, because they are all the same steel jungle, what is the difference?
But even the modern buildings in Xi'an gave Chen Xing a different feeling from Chengdu.
The impression that Chengdu gave him was that it was lazy, leisurely and very comfortable. Even the traffic lights were longer than those in ordinary cities, the buses were neither urgent nor slow, and the subway peak hours lasted until after nine o'clock.
No matter where you come from, or whether you are a local, or what you were like in the past, when you arrive in Chengdu, you will become more comfortable and your pace will slow down a lot. This is the style of Chengdu people.

The city of Xi'an, from its buildings and streets, gave Chen Xing a sense of solidity, a strong atmosphere of fireworks, and the strong cultural identity of Xi'an people.
I don’t know how to describe this feeling, but this is the first impression this city gave Chen Xing.
If Chen Xing is a famous painter, then he can definitely paint Xi'an into a colorful oil painting and use colors to express the city. If he is a musician, then Chen Xing can also make a song and name it Xi'an.
Impression.
But he is a photographer, so he can only turn his impression of Xi'an into the photos in his camera.
Fortunately, he is a good photographer, and the photos he takes can also show his current views on the city of Xi'an.
Chen Xing suddenly said: "Can you take me to visit the alleys of Xi'an?"
"What alley?"
"It's the kind in the ancient city..." Chen Xing was thinking about the way he described it, and then said, "It's the old houses and old communities that haven't been demolished. Xi'an should have them, right?"
"Oh! I know what you mean. Let me take you to the academy gate first."
"Okay, you arrange it."
Chen Xing didn't know anything about the streets and characteristics of Xi'an before coming here. At most, he learned the names of two places on the train, one is Muslim Street and the other is Dapiyuan.
And according to what the person on the train said, these two streets are both food streets, which should be similar to Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu.
Chen Xing definitely wants to go shopping, but not now.
It’s too late to go there until it’s time to leave Xi’an.
When he arrived near the subway, Zhou Xueyan pointed to the university next to him and said: "This is our school, University of Architecture and Technology. This subway station also bears the name of our school, University of Architecture and Technology Station."
"Then your school is also very famous. It should also be a double first-class school, right?"
"Um...no."
"..."
Going down the stairs to the subway station, Chen Xing looked at the numbers on the automatic ticket vending machine and thought to himself... I should stay in Xi'an for a long time. It seems a bit of a loss to buy a ticket alone. How about getting a monthly pass? p>
He also bought a monthly pass in Paris, traveled everywhere, and earned his money back long ago.
Xi'an is also a very famous tourist city. There are scenic spots everywhere in the city, and there are so many unique delicacies. You shouldn't lose money by buying a monthly pass.
Well, then buy one.
Monthly passes are really a good thing for travelers.
Compared with the subways in Chengdu that extend in all directions, Xi'an's subway lines are not very developed. For example, if they want to go from the University of Architecture and Technology to the Academy Gate, they have to walk two kilometers even if they take the subway.
But fortunately, it is a bustling straight road, which allows Chen Xing to see a lot of local things in Xi'an, and he will also pass a section of the city wall on the way.
When he arrived here, Chen Xing saw many people gathered in front of him.
"What are you doing over there?"
Zhou Xueyan said: "It should be a performance, right? Come on, let's go and see."
She came to see it last year, but today she was just a guest, accompanying Chen Xing to visit Xi'an, so she wanted to take Chen Xing to see anything unique to Xi'an that Chen Xing had never seen before. Although she is not from Xi'an, she has been in Xi'an for so long and has a certain sense of ownership.
Chen Xing looked a little thin, but in fact he was strong. He quickly protected Zhou Xueyen and pushed to the front. The people around him complained, and Zhou Xueyen's face in front of him was glowing red.
Chen Xing didn’t pay attention to these.
As soon as he entered, he saw a large area of empty space in front of him. Inside the city wall of Yongning Gate were several rows of ancient soldiers wearing golden armor and holding spears.
The spear is at least two and a half meters long, which can be said to be a very authentic representation of an ancient spear weapon.
"Oh? Role play?"
At this time, a man wearing a red official uniform, holding a wooden box, and walking majestically towards the crowd walked toward the crowd. In every aspect, this man was very consistent with people's impressions of ancient officials. p>
For example, the domineering pace, the big beer belly, the wooden box held in the right hand while walking, and the angle at which the left hand is thrown outward.
Even the expression on the face.
Because as he got closer and closer, many people could see that his face was serious, and both corners of his mouth were glancing downward.
Chen Xing whispered to Zhou Xueyan: "This person is really good at acting."
It is like an ancient diplomat on a mission to other countries, walking on the crowded streets with gifts, fully expressing the majestic temperament of a big country.
It seems that there are still good actors in China, even if they can only perform in such local activities.
The background music is also very nice, with the sounds of suona, drums, and chimes.
He walked very slowly, and the space left in the middle was very long, so the onlookers just watched him walk for two or three minutes, but no one in the onlookers felt bored.
Because Chen Xing squeezed into a good position, the actor happened to pass by Chen Xing, and the distance between the two sides was only two meters.
Then the man walked another two or three meters, waved his sleeves, and turned around.
Chen Xing thought he was going to speak.
The atmosphere is here, right? Talk about the Tang Dynasty or something, it just fits the scene and the atmosphere.
But the actor didn't speak.
When Chen Xing looked towards Yongning Gate again, he found that the group of soldiers in golden armor were also walking towards this side.
It turns out that I still have to watch people walk around again!
The soldiers in golden armor were not as good as the fat actor. The three people in the front were holding the swords at their waists. Their costumes were somewhat different from those of the soldiers holding spears in the back.
The man in the middle has a completely different hat from the others. He has a red cloak behind him and a triangular beard on his chin. He looks like a general.
They walked very long, so they reached the place very quickly. They stood one meter to the left of Chen Xing, face to face with the fat actor who turned around.
Listening to the music playing, looking at their costumes, and the mottled city wall they walked out of, the atmosphere was immediately filled. People around were holding mobile phones and taking pictures with cameras, and no one spoke.
Following a few orders, the soldiers stood on both sides, holding spears and one hand on their hips.
The fat official said: "General, take the order!"
The general bowed slightly, clasping his hands into fists, and he was very powerful. It felt like I was too sick to give him a full salute.
"There are Khitans in the north who are constantly moving south to invade our borders. I am ordering you to be the marshal and lead an army to attack with one hundred thousand troops. You are allowed to recruit soldiers in Guannai Road, Hedong Road, Henan Road and Hebei Road to repel the Khitans!"<
/p>
"Get the order!"
The general also looked serious.
If you laugh at such an occasion, you may be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
Chen Xing really admires these actors. The number of people watching them can definitely reach a terrifying number, and they all hold videos with their mobile phones and wear modern clothes that are incompatible with them.
If you can perform with a serious face like this, you must have a good mental quality.
The official opened the wooden box, and Chen Xing saw a tiger charm inside.
Tiger charms were a necessary tool for dispatching troops in ancient times, just like fingerprints or passwords are required to open a mobile phone today. If the password is incorrect, the phone cannot be opened, and the ancient soldiers cannot be mobilized.
Then the general took the tiger charm and handed it to the deputy general next to him.
Then there is the demonstration of soldiers moving back and forth, as if soldiers are training. It is not complicated, but surprisingly can be seen.
The two of them watched here for a long time until the performance ended.
When the onlookers dispersed, Chen Xing said: "Fortunately, the car didn't go directly to the place, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the performance. This kind of performance is free of charge, it's really profitable."
"There are often performances like this in Xi'an. Today these are considered small performances, and sometimes there are large performances."
There are so many things that can be performed in Xi'an, and there are too many stories in this city.
If you want to perform, you don’t have to worry about the subject matter.
This is also the source of the self-confidence of Xi'an people. They live in such a city and have the richest ancient cultural heritage in China. How can their temperament be the same as that of the ever-expanding cities outside?
After watching the performance, the two of them walked for another 20 minutes and saw a very gorgeous archway.
Archways are very common in China. There are many thousand-year-old archways and centuries-old archways.
In fact, there is no difference between the archway and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The only difference is that one is made of stone and covers a large area, while the other is made of wood and covers a small area.
But the patterns on it, compared to the carvings on the Arc de Triomphe, also took a lot of effort from the craftsmen.
Therefore, there is no need to envy Paris for having a Arc de Triomphe. Maybe there is an Oriental Arc de Triomphe right at your doorstep.
Speaking of which, the archway in front of Chen Xing says... Academy Gate.
The name is Academy Gate, but it is actually an antique street paved with blue bricks and ancient tiles.
It is indeed an antique, not really antique.
Chen Xing has been to many ancient towns and knows what real ancient houses should look like. But even if they are antiques, the buildings here are very excellent and look very charming.
As soon as he entered, Chen Xing saw the white paper fans hanging on the street.
It's the kind of fan held by the literati in costume dramas, with words written on it.
Chen Xing went over to take a look.
These words are also very modern.
What it says is...Every cause must have its effect, and your retribution will be me.
I want you to stay with me tonight.
I advise you to use rat tail juice.
Chicken soup is here!
The two of them were looking at paper fans here, both laughing.
Such good calligraphy, writing such words, really feels like an incomplete fusion of ancient and modern times.
The boss came out of the store and asked with a smile: "Want to buy a fan?"
"Just take a look." Chen Xing said, and then said, "Boss, did you write these words yourself?"
"Yeah."
Chen Xing looks like a cultural person in his dress.
First of all, this boss has a slim figure, which is called strong character according to the old saying, and he is wearing a white Tang suit. Although his hair is white, his back is straight, which is rare among the elderly.
Temperament is very important and can enhance a stranger's first impression of a person.
Doesn’t Chen Xing also rely on his temperament to make friends with others?
"The handwriting is really good." Chen Xing praised.
His handwriting is relatively average. Although he rarely writes now, he still envies those who can write well.
"Haha, you're honored."
Chen Xing looked at many fans, some with writing on them, some with paintings but no writing, and some with white on both sides. He wanted to take care of the boss's business and buy something back, but he never saw the right one. There are no suitable paintings and no suitable words.
At this time, the boss was holding a writing brush and writing for other people. The words were said by others and he was writing... I am greedy for money and lustful.
I remembered that I also had painting skills, and thought, how about I draw one myself and let the boss write?
